Milton Manor is an imposing edge of village house situated in a wonderful rural location. The house is approached from a quiet lane. The main drive leads to the impressive stone porch with large oak doors. The house boasts a grand reception hall with magnificent fireplace sporting the Hambro Coat of Arms.The house offers fantastic family accommodation over two floors. The property has some classic features of the Arts and Crafts period including stone and oak mullioned windows, stone and slate tiled roof, large fireplaces and oak panelling in several rooms. The property was completely renovated 20 years ago by the current owners. The kitchen and drawing room face southwards with fine views across the principal lawn over open farmland towards the Purbeck Hills and beyond. Many of the rooms in the house have views to the beautiful gardens and grounds that make up about 5.6 acres.

The former Coach house has been converted into two 2 bedroom flats. This provides useful additional accommodation for family, staff or visitors.
